Listen to this ATP podcast as we hear from Samantha Lander, a Functional Diagnostics practitioner, certified personal trainer, and holistic lifestyle coach, who shares her inspiring journey from substance use to sobriety. Samantha’s passion for functional diagnostics was sparked by her own health challenges, including adrenal fatigue, food sensitivities, pathogens, leaky gut, and numerous hidden stressors. Despite maintaining a rigorous workout routine and a perfect diet, she struggled with weight issues and knew there had to be a deeper cause. She found an alternative way to heal, rebuilt her health and discovered she didn’t have to settle for feeling terrible.  
Tune in if you’re sober curious, already sober, or seeking solutions for health issues that traditional medicine hasn’t resolved. If you’ve been told your labs are normal but still feel exhausted, bloated, unable to lose weight, or dealing with gut and hormone issues, this episode is for you.
